Visa Information

We recommend you apply for a tourist B-1 visa. Because the LSA Institute is not a credit-bearing institution, we will not provide sponsorship for student visas like the F or J.

Please see this link for information about the B-1 visa.

In your discussion with consular officers, be clear that you are not taking these classes through the University of Oregon or another university, but rather as part of an extended conference that offers courses for educational and professional enrichment. If you need a letter of invitation for your application, please fill out this form.
